Aside the bickering, I liked the idea of the businessman pulling his own gun on the would be robber.
It's been three or four years ago, I was visiting my friend Larry in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. The shop was closed, and everyone had gone home a couple of hours earlier. Larry was doing his daily end of business closeouts, and counting the days reciepts. I was across the room surfing the net. Larry's brother Marshell who lives on the street, came in for his weekly allowance. When Larry let him in Larry relocked the door. Larry paid Marshell from the cash drawer, then decided to allow Marshell to let himself out. All this was visable from the windows. Two men were waiting and when Marshell opened the door they rushed in. One had a big knife, the kind Mic Dundee carried. He pointed it at Larry and told him to give him all the money or he was going to cut him open. I heard something that got my attention and I looked over the computer and saw what was going on. I stood up and stepped around the desk. The second man grabbed a knife from his belt and opened it saying what he was going to do to my anatomy. I pulled my windbreaker back, and put my hand on my Ruger P-85 in the shoulder holster. That guy turned pail, he screamed, This XXXXXXX guy has a gun". He turned and was trying to run without taking his eyes off me. He ran over his partner knocking him down. Both lost their knives, and got up running for the door. I walked over and relocked the door.
My friend Larry was shaken up. He was shaking and pail. He took the keys from his desk and walked into the back of the shop. He came back with a gun case for a pistol. Larry opened the case and set it on the desk. There was a Colt revolver in .38 Spl. Larry said "Rog I don't know anything about that, but I want you to teach me how to use it". "Dad said I would need it some day, and I laughed". "The old man knew what he was talking about, glad you were here". Larry and I spent the next day at the range. We go to the range now and shoot every winter when I am visiting. Larry's wife makes him take her once a month to the range so she can shoot her Beretta.
